Sure, but as it probably is an unintended result, the more it gets ballyhoo'd about the more likely that loophole will be closed.lbmofo wrote:Care to share?a.priori.eureka wrote:This can be done through a work around. Of course there is a little inconvenience and/or some trade-off.
I don't think that ooma will be disabling the stutter dialtone as it has a great purpose - it tells you that ALL incoming calls will be going to voice mail. That means that features like call waiting or a second call going to another ooma handset will be disabled as well. Not much of a workaround IMHO.a.priori.eureka wrote:Sure, but as it probably is an unintended result, the more it gets ballyhoo'd about the more likely that loophole will be closed.lbmofo wrote:Care to share?a.priori.eureka wrote:This can be done through a work around.

Turn on the Do Not Disturb mode (Telo model), pick up the phone, the new dialtone is four short, one long.
Problem solved? Just be sure to turn it back off when you wish to receive calls.
If the intended result was to avoid the trademark Ooma dialtone, this workaround accomplishes this.
